How can I open my 360 disc drive without opening my 360.. or breaking it?


I do not have a torque screw driver to open my 360 to hotswap, so I am going to try and pull it open... I have tried using a paperclip but it would not budge and I am afraid of pulling it incase it breaks... HELP

You can take the top of the case off using a paperclip or whatever, but the bottom is held on with screws, you can't open it without a torx screwdriver...

well, you can try using like a small flat head or something..but it would be hard.

That's what I use.

Wait...

do you mean 'open it' as in 'take it apart'?

Or do you mean activate the coffee cup holder?

'cause there's a button on the mobo to activate the coffee mug holder which you can reach by taking off the faceplate and jamming a nail or a paperclip into the furthest left gap (when the xbox is sitting on it's side).

But if you go to the dashboard, you can press x to eject the disk (while you have the disk highlighted, obviously).

Are you talking about ejecting the disk drive, or taking it apart?!

You can eject it with a paperclip, but definately not take it apart with one.

I'm looking at mine right now (my xbox stays in bits to prevent overheating) and there are at least 4 screws on it
